Upgraded my 6g cherry tank into a 29g bowfront invert tank = ) Currently inhabiting it are 10+ cherry shrimp, 4 caridina babaulti green, 2 algae(amano) shrimp, 1 black diamond shrimp(crystal black), 1 zebra nerite and 1 small pea puffer, along with MTS/ramshorns snails. I know puffer isnt recommended, but ive had no issues with it so far, it leaves the adult shrimp alone and hasnt even gotten after any juvie shrimps...he seems more interested in the snails and swimming around the plants. Im going to be adding in more cherries when my babies in the 6g are big enough to move and am really considering introducing a dwarf cray to see how that works out. Enough of my ramble, i took a few pics which arent the best quality because they are phone pics but here they are

You can get black background paper and just tape it on, most LFS's sell it. Also I would definitely get rid of the Puffer, he's going to want to eat the shrimp and snails as he grows...
 
He wont be growing much more, little pea puffers stay small and he is welcome to eat some snails and even some baby shrimp, if he starts going for adult shrimp ill remove it
